TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –ALLEGRO RED® Chapter 12 WINDOWS, AWNINGS, VENTS & DOORSWindowsThe windows (Figure 12-1) on the Allegro RED are of the sliding type. Double-panewindows provide additional thermal control (i.e., insulation) to maintain interiortemperatures better. In the double-pane windows, a “dead air” space(filled with a dry, inert gas) is sealed between two panes of glass—this “dead air”space provides additional thermal insulation for the windows and prevents themfrom fogging internally.Additionally, there may be a reflective coating on the windows to reflect back aportion of the sunlight to reduce the heating of the motor-home interior and toreduce the effects of the sun’s “bleaching” of interior fabrics (curtains, upholstery).Figure 12-1.Windows on the Allegro REDFor both the driver’s and passenger’s windows, additional sun shades are available to permit blockage of the sun’s rayswhich may interfere with driving. These shades can be deployed, as needed, and then moved out of the way when nolonger desired. In the bedroom, one particular window will be marked withan “EXIT” label—this is an emergency escape (Figure 12-2) only to be usedwhen normal exits are blocked or inaccessible. To use this emergencyescape, merely lift the red handles at the bottom of the window and pushoutwards to open the window.Should it be necessary to use this exit, please look for a secure footing,both inside and outside, when exiting so that no personal injury is sustainedFigure 12-2. Bedroom Emergency Exit Windowin the process. It is also prudent, when parking the motor home, to beaware of where this “emergency-exit” window will be situated so that it is not inadvertently blocked or impeded from itsnormal, intended operation, should the use of such become necessary.AwningsThe power patio awning (Figure 12-3) is standard on the Allegro RED.The power patio awning is extremely durable and can be operatedduring light rain and wind conditions. However, when periods of heavyrain, or wind is expected; or you leave the awning unattended theawning should be closed. Please note that damage caused by wind andrain is not covered by warranty. To operate the awning follow theinstructions listed below.To open the awning:1. Rocker Remote SwitchA. Press and hold the “Extend” button and the awning willautomatically open. If the button is released the awning willstop. Maintain button depressed until awning is fullyextended then release.Figure 12-3. Power Patio Awning (Fully Extended)B. Verify that the valance is in the correct orientation (see awning instructions found in Owner’s InformationPackage, page 2 Figure 1). Tap the rocker switch in the “Retract” direction to adjust the valance orientationif necessary. Allowing the valance to remain in the hyperextended orientation may create a12-2propensity to pool water, especially in larger (17’-21’) awnings.
TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –ALLEGRO RED® Chapter 12 WINDOWS, AWNINGS, VENTS & DOORSTo close the awning:NOTE: Pinch Hazard. When closing awning, bottom arm will fold down and against back channel.

While holding top arm in place, tighten knob to set pitch.4. Repeat for hardware on other side.IMPORTANT: To ensure rain water will run off awning, ensure that one end of the awning is lowerthan the other end. This will reduce the potential for water pooling in the center of the awning.5. Prior to closing awning, loosen knob to allow awning to reset to original position. Lightly tighten knobto reduce potential for sounds of rattling during travel.In case of awning power failure or to manually close awning:IMPORTANT: This procedure will require two people. When this procedure has been performed, the awning must beserviced by a Dometic service center or a qualified service technician before using again.There are two methods of rolling up the awning if it appears there is no power to the awning motor. Thefollowing method should be performed first:1. When the power awning hardware is in the open position and the 12 VDC power has been lost the awning canbe closed by supplying auxiliary power to the hardware. Connect the awning motor to an external 12 VDCpower source via user-supplied wire (16 gauge minimum). A good external 12 VDC power source would be anautomobile battery.2. Locate and unplug the motor and hardware cable connection located in the upper part of the right hand arm.3. Connect the user-supplied wire leads to the terminals in the connector from the motor. Electrical tape may berequired to keep the wire leads in place. (Do not connect to the one in the hardware).4. Connect the other end to a 12 VDC battery source. The red wire goes to + and the black to -. If there is not aproblem with the awning motor, this will retract the awning. To avoid motor damage disconnect battery sourceimmediately after awning is fully retracted.12-3
